Let's see, ORD does 100K's a year, LL22 maybe 10-20 a day.
During my 15 years in the area, Wrecks:
LL22-Two
ORD- an AMR jet hits the dirt, short of the rr.
The full report for NTSB Report Number AAB-01-01 is available at
www.ntsb.gov/publictn/publictn.htm. On February 9, 1998, about 0954
central standard time (CST), a Boeing 727-223 (727), N845AA, operated
by American Airlines as flight 1340, impacted the ground short of the
runway 14R threshold at Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD)
while conducting a Category II (CAT II) instrument landing system (ILS)
coupled approach. Twenty-two passengers and one flight attendant
received minor injuries, and the airplane was substantially damaged.
The airplane, being operated by American Airlines as a scheduled
domestic passenger flight under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) Part 121, with 116 passengers, 3 flight crewmembers,
and 3 flight attendants on board, was destined for Chicago, Illinois,
from Kansas City International Airport (MCI), Kansas City, Missouri.
Daylight instrument meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of
the accident.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable
cause(s) of this accident as follows:
the failure of the flight crew to maintain a proper pitch attitude for
a successful landing or go-around. Contributing to the accident were
the divergent pitch oscillations of the airplane, which occurred during
the final approach and were the result of an improper autopilot
desensitization rate.
I call this a WRECK-JG
So the score is LL22-Two, ORD-One.
